In spite of tough competition from other Indian films, Marathi film ‘Gondhal’ has been selected as India’s official entry for the 99^th Academy awards ( Oscars) 2026. It may be recalled that 11 years ago Marathi film ‘Court’ had received this honor and now ‘Gondhal’ which is set on the backdrop of our local soil and culture.

According to writer, director and producer Santosh Davakhar this is not just a big honour for a Marathi film but also national honour for our Indian tradition, Maharashtrian culture and story arising from our local soil. “I have tried my best to make this film of world standard taking into account the effective screenplay, cinematic liberties and effective sound effects.”

‘Gondhal’ will be released in theatres for limited period . So, the writer-director has appealed to film lovers to watch this film and offer their blessings.
